To all whom 'it may concern:

Be it known that I, FLORA A. PARIS, a citizen of the United States, anda resident of the city of New York, borough of Brooklyn, in t e countyof Kings and State of New York, have invented a new and usefulImprovement in lrVrin'kle-Eradicators, of which the following is a full,clear, and exact description.

The pur ose of the invention is to provide a device or eradicatingwrinkles from the human face, and to so construct the device that itwill be exceedingly simple and light, and so that it can beexpeditiously and conveniently applied and removed, and worn withoutmaterial discomfort.

The invention consists in thenovel construction 'and combination of theseveral partsjas will be hereinafter fully set forth and pointed out inthe claims.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings formin 7 a part ofthis specification inrwhich similar characters of reference indicatecorresponding parts in all the figures:

Figure 1 is a perspective view of the device; FiO.- 2 is a detailsectional view taken ractica y on the line 2 2 of Fi 1; and Fig. 3 is aside elevation of the device drawn upon a smaller scale and representedas app ied to a womans head.

The device is constructed entirely of a pliable material, with theexception of certain fastening devices that are by preference made ofmetal.

A re resents' a neck band or a band that is fitte to lie snu ly againstthe back of the neck, being of su icient length to extend at itsfrontends over the lower portions of the cheeks, and this neck band A isprovided at its ends with tips 10 of an adhesive material,court-plaster, for example.'

A forwardly and upwardly extending head band B is attached at itscentral portion at its lower edge to the upper ed e of the ce1'4responding portion'of t e neck and A, as is illustrated in Figs. 1 and3, and this orwardly extending head band B has its forfhe said head bandward. end free, and the band is of sufhcient length to extend over thetop or crown of the iead in such manner that its end portions` 12 willoverlap, and the over-lapping ends 12 of B are connected by sn ordinarypin 13, a safety pin, or any equivalent thereof.

. In connection with the neck band A sind Specification of LettersPatent.

Application tiled August 31, 1907. Serial No. 390,982.

vcured to they said ba the forwardly extending head band B, a back bandC is employed; thisback band is attached in any desired way to thecentral portion of the head band B, or that .portion l which is oppositethe central rear portion of the neck, and the said back band C is ofsufficient length to extend down along the forehead, and is provided atits forward or freey end with an adhesive tip'15. The forward portion ofthe back band C under-lies the over-lapped ends 12 of the head band B,and the said over-lap ed ends 12 are secls band by a similar means emloyed for connecting'said ends. The back and C is referably made in twosections connected lgy an elastic strip 14., which elastic strip issolocated that it comes over the rear central portion of the head when thearticle is worn.

In connection with the back band CAI emloy a forwardly extending headband D. ll`his head band D consists of a rear member 16 that is securedby stitching or otherwise. Near the forward face of the back band Cadjacent that point where the elastic strip 14 connects with the lowermember of the back band, as is particularly shown in Fig. 1, forwardlyextendin members 17 are employed in connection wit 1 the rear attachedmember 16, Aand these forwardly extending members 17 are adapted to pass1n engagement with the inner ends -of the side members of the head bandB, and terminate at their outer ends in adhesive tips 18 that areadapted to engage with the face of the wearer in the vicinity of theeyes, 'as is shown in Fig. 3. The construction of the forwardlyextending headband D is completed by securing elastic strips 19 to theface of the rear attached section 16.3, and providing separable buttons20, or their equivalents for adjust-ably connecting the said inserted'elastic strips 19 with the forwardly extending sections 17 of the bandB.

When the device is in position on the head of the wearer, it extendsrearward exerting tension on the section of the face at those' pointswhere wrinkles most occur, namely adjacent the eyes, the rear curves of.the mouth, and at the forehead, but I desire it to be understood thatthe terminal portions of the device extending over the face may be soshaped as to reach any particular portion of the face of thewearerneeding especial ati tention. back band C relieves tension, and thead- 1The inserted elastic strip 14 in the l l l l l instable connectionsbetween the forwardly Aextending section 17- of the forwardly extendingheud band D and its rear section facllitates the 'fitting-of adevice tothe head, v' and furthermore enables the wearer to increaseor decreasethe tenslon at that portlon of the device. L

Having thus described my mventlon, I claim as new end desire to secureby Letters Patent,.

A wrinkle eradicator ccnslstmg of a neck band, a head band secured tothe rear portion ofthe neckbend and extending upwardly and forwardlytherefromz. a back band extending from the rear portion of the head bandand u wsdly and forwardly from said band, said back band being connected-with the head bend and extending therebe- 'el4 Y [www] yOIld and havinim elasticsection inter.-l 'l posed in the lengt thereof, an auxiliaryforwardly extending head band com rising two side sections and s. resrsection, t rear section being secured to the back band an elas-A4 ticsection being interposed between the side sections and the rear section,and adhesive tips beiner connected with the forward free ends of theneck band, back band and auxiliary head band.
